Sony ACID Pro 7If you're serious about music creation, take a good look at Sony ACID Pro 7
By Heath McKnight

The seventh version of Sony's ACID Pro is a great update to the software. Sony's famous DAW (digital audio workstation) gives users even more control over their musical and sound creations. Combined with an extensive loops and MIDI library, along with multi-track recording and mixing, this version is worth getting.

Since Windows isn't my primary system, I used a rig at Digital Cut (www.digitalcut.biz), which is configured for video editing. I also talked to several colleagues who work with ACID Pro 7 nearly every day, and their consensus is this is great software.
